Website link broken?

The Website link seems to be broken. Has the huddletogether.com site gone down or has the project moved?

It's working for me at the moment. :) Drum guy (talk) 22:06, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Large Images

only for small values of large :-( 1280 x 1024 iamges get badly mangled

Is it possible to disable Lightbox?

In the spirit of NPOV, it would be nice to link to a way to disable these modal dialogs and turn this feature into a less aggressive image viewer... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.127.9.74 (talk) 08:11, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A bit late, but you can use Inspect Element in Chrome, or equivalent in another browser, and just delete the node. Some sites are more annoying though and disable scrolling. NoScript lets you block not just the entire site but the specific script, as do most ad blockers. A nice plugin would be one that detects the most common overlays ('modal lightboxes') and removes it by default. 73.181.82.26 (talk) 20:06, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Slimbox listing at end of page

It seems like the Slimbox listing at the end of the page ought to be removed, since it doesn't make sense to list every single lightbox clone on this page, and this one isn't particularly any more noteable than the other clones. Also, there are links to the Slimbox page on the lists of lightbox clones which the article already links to. 75.182.102.162 (talk) 01:27, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism section

I've removed the "criticism" section originally added in this edit.

It has no source, and is somewhat irrelevant. It's certainly not an issue limited to Lightbox, nor is it particularly meaningful. If anything, it's a criticism that can be levelled at pretty much any page on the web that makes use of JS/ajax. Kirkburn (talk) 10:45, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree this should not appear in the article. This is mainly because it is completely unsourced. --Hm2k (talk) 09:48, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

With no criticism, this article is just a piece of lightweight Lightbox fanstuff. Worthless. Steve Graham (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:27, 3 November 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Thanks for this article. I've been trying to discover for a while how lightboxes worked and according to this article they use modal dialog boxes. That is very helpful. If you must have criticism then by all means be critical, but the article is definitely useful and informative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.38.221.237 (talk) 21:37, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Accessibility, usability, and user experience

How does everyone feel about this section? It seems a bit emotive and not exactly npov to me.. any thoughts? jamesnnnnn (talk) 16:00, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mixup?

Isn't there a mixup in this article of lightbox the JavaScript technique og Lightbox the JavaScript software library (presuming there is a library of that name)? --Mortense (talk) 19:33, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the mixup was the impetus for my recent rewrite. I hope I've sufficiently clarified things. Mattbrundage (talk) 21:56, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
